Top Harry Kane picks, player props for England vs. Mexico

• Harry Kane anytime goal scorer (+135)
• Harry Kane to score or assist (+105)
• Harry Kane 2+ shots on target (+150)

Harry Kane anytime goal scorer (+135)

Kane has been England’s star for multiple World Cups now, and he is playing better than ever this year. He led the way with eight goals in eight qualifying matches to help the Three Lions secure their spot in the field. After scoring two goals in the final 25 minutes of regulation against DR Congo, Kane is brimming with confidence heading into the Round of 16.     

Harry Kane to score or assist (+105)

England’s all-time leading goalscorer in the World Cup is also a threat to assist, even though he has zero assists so far this tournament. Kane had three assists in five appearances during the 2022 World Cup, and he regularly contributes assists during club matches. Given the price is still plus money, Kane has value to score or assist against Mexico. 

Harry Kane 2+ shots on target (+150)

Kane has been peppering opposing goalies with shots on target throughout the tournament. He had three against Croatia in the opener, two against Panama and three against DR Congo. While Mexico has been the best defensive side in the tournament, there is still plenty of value taking Kane to record a pair of shots on target at this price.
